I'm pretty certain none do. My friend had an 89 astro, and I know in that body style the rear axle is offset to one side, unlike any other GM vehicle of the time.
Unless they changed the suspension from teh earlier ones, its also leaf sprung, of which no car that vintage was.

so good luck,
you need axle from same make model vehicle
did they use 7.5" or 8.5" axle under the astros ?

Astro and S-10 and 82 - 92 Camaro's share many of the same suspension parts.

[/ QUOTE ] quite wrong. s10s have leaf springs under the axle. Astro is above the axle. Camaros were not leaf sprung.

This is true, however it doesnt mean that they still dont share many suspension parts.

Front stuff yes. Rear, almost nothing, if anything. (shocks maybe?)

i have a 94 safari (same thing as astro) and a 89 s10, the safari uses a plastic leaf spring and the s10 uses a standard steel leaf. im not sure if/when they changed anything but i know what i have is different.

quite correct, older Astros had a single 3 or 3.5" wide plastic leaf spring

Unless they had the HD tow package, then they had the steel multi leafs just like the s-10.
